Mental and neurological conditions are responsible for more than 30% of all human years lived with disability globally. Current first-line treatments vary by condition, but most often include longitudinal systemic pharmacological intervention, such as prescription of SSRIs. These interventions have undesirable side effects and are ineffective for large percentages of patients. New neuromodulatory approaches have begun to be investigated as alternative treatments. These have included whole-brain neuromodulation with high doses of anesthetics for depression, and non-invasive neuromodulation with focused ultrasound (FUS) for both mental and…
